Thanks for the additional pictures! That is an amazing customization and I think many people would not recognize it for what it was. Very nicely done!!
How did you manage the spoked wheels?
The wheels are from an R1150GSA. Installation on the front was pretty straight forward, although I did have to machine a spacer, change to different spec seals and I used the rotors from the K-bike. The rear required use of a GS caliper and rotor as well as some machining of the final drive housing to accept the GS style ABS sensor.

Welcome to the forum!
I think there is a thread or two on those ignition switches around here.
Enjoy.

Yes, there is information on cleaning the ignition switch which in many cases solves the problem without the cost of a new switch. Also, congratulations on your new bike! It looks great!
Dscelza,
Go to "Kbikes DIY/ Tech Library" just above "Post a Picture of Your Kbike" and look for "Ignition Switch Cleaning."

Those were flashy state of the art bikes back in the day, well actually they pretty much still are.
Yes, I agree. Fast, highly stable, handle well, and butter smooth. I still love my 2003 black RS I bought new.

I have a 2003 just like it, which I bought new, and I'll never sell it, either. BMW hasn't made anything before or since quite like the K1200RS, and it provides a style of riding that fits me like a glove.
